There are several common methods for deploying applications in Kubernetes:
-
kubectl apply — the most basic way, where manifests (YAML files) describe the desired state, and the command applies them to the cluster.
-
Helm — a package manager for Kubernetes that allows packaging, configuring, and deploying applications as charts. It simplifies dependency and version management.
-
Kustomize — a tool for managing Kubernetes configurations with the ability to patch and override parameters without duplicating YAML.
-
CI/CD integrations — automated pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD) that automatically deploy applications upon changes in the repository.
-
Operators — Kubernetes extensions that automate the management of application lifecycle, including deployment and updates.
Example of a simple deployment using kubectl:
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
